My mom had one of these when I was growing up and we got one from Derek's parents when we were married. This is the item I use the most in my kitchen!! I love it so much, it would be one of the few things I would grab if I had to evacuate my house for any reason!

Look at the yummy Cinnamon Rolls I made with it today! They just came out of the oven and the kids are BEGGING for some!

Line a 13 by 9-inch cake pan with aluminum foil and spray with vegetable oil cooking spray. Spoon in half of the brownie batter and smooth with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Place the candy bars side by side on top of the batter. Cover with the remaining batter.

Bake according to package directions. Let cool completely, then lift from the pan using the edges of the foil. This makes it easy to cut the brownies into squares.

Place the bread slices on a sheet pan and toast them for 5 minutes. Turn the slices and toast for 1 more minute, until all the bread is evenly browned. Place 2 slices on a cutting board. Spread each slice with about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Cover the slices with a layer of lettuce. Peel the avocado and slice it 1/2-inch thick. Toss the avocado slices gently with the lemon juice, and arrange on top of the lettuce leaves. Place 3 slices of bacon on top of each sandwich and then add a layer of tomato slices on top of the bacon. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.

Spread each of the remaining 2 slices of toasted bread with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and place, mayonnaise side down, on the sandwiches. Cut in half and serve.

I found this recipe on A Feathered Nest and they are super yummy! I didn't add the nuts because I didn't have any (I think they would be even better with those)! I did add the flaxseed. I usually post recipes on my Recipe Blog but thought I would post this here because I totally copied the recipe! :) The above picture features MY muffins though! Carrot Pineapple Muffins

Whisk dry ingredients together; combine all ingredients together in the large bowl until combined; do not over mix. Spoon into greased muffin tin, filling the muffin cups almost to the top. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Here is another recipe using refrigerator biscuits! I heard they have these in Chinese Buffets (but since I never ever go to one I will have to take their word for it). Chinese DounutsRefrigerator Biscuits (I used pillsbury)Oil Sugar

Pop biscuits out of can and lay out flat on counter until brought to room temperature. Heat oil to 350 degrees (make sure there is at least a few inches of oil in your pan). Add room temp biscuits a few at a time and brown on both sides. Take out and drain and cool slightly on a paper towel. Dredge in sugar. Enjoy!

I impulsively bought this little device at Target last week after testing out my mom's (her impulsive buy). I've been having so much fun trying out new recipes! Who knew you could do so many things with Pillsbury Biscuits!
